COQUILLE — Oregon’s education system is inefficient, say local educators, especially burdening rural school districts with more mandates, less funding, fewer resources and more paperwork. Nancy Golden, Oregon Education Investment Board’s chief education officer, swung down to the South Coast on Wednesday, meeting with Coquille, Myrtle Point, Coos Bay, Reedsport and Powers school officials. Golden has held the position since former chief education officer Rudy Crew resigned last year. OEIB launched in 2012, and requires “achievement compacts” with all school districts, education service districts, community colleges and public universities — asking them to set specific student achievement goals that align with Gov. John Kitzhaber’s “40-40-20” goal. OEIB began distributing grants through its Strategic Initiatives program last fall. The problem with Strategic Initiatives, said Coquille schools Superintendent Tim Sweeney, is it leaves out rural districts. The program is designed to match funds with community partners to support teacher development, early literacy, STEM and CTE programs, and college readiness. But rural school districts typically don’t have grant writers, and their communities don’t have the partners metro areas have. “Calling for partners unintentionally disadvantages some school districts,” Golden said. “We can’t keep coming up with urban solutions for rural communities.” SEE SCHOOLS | A8
Speed zone causes uproar Langlois townies wanted a lower speed limit, but got a surprise ■
BY AMY MOSS STRONG The World
LANGLOIS — The 170 residents here know their neighbors, watch out for each other’s children and gather at the market to hear the latest news. And when a government agency steps in and messes with the “townies,” they form a united front — and get results. Such was the case when,in a wellmeaning effort, a resident recently asked the Oregon Department of
Transportation to consider lowering the speed limit through town from 40 mph to 30 mph. Imagine the town’s surprise when, instead of lowering the speed limit, ODOT shortened the speed zone last month, moving the signs without notifying the community. The new, See the video for this shorter zone story online at e n co u ra ge d theworldlink.com/video drivers to travel even faster through town, residents claimed. “When ODOT gets a request,they are compelled to investigate,” said Langlois librarian Scott Smith. “So they came down and measured the cars and the average speed and based
on metrics, decided to move the speed zone north.” The 40 mph zone was moved from Floras Creek Road to in front of Piercy Suites, about a quarter-mile north. ODOT’s report referred to the “absence of roadside culture,” a phrase that rang hollow with residents. Students from the Wilderland School preschool walk regularly along the highway to the library and other places for field trips. The church has expanded its parking lot to accommodate increased attendance. Elderly residents who no longer drive walk along the highway to get to their destination. SEE LANGLOIS | A8

In front of the Raincoast Arts Gallery just feet away from U.S. Highway 101, owner Carol Waxham says some trucks passing by rattle the building. She is one in the Langlois community pushing to have the speed zone put back to its original length.

for their automobiles as a result of this conspiracy,” Brent Snyder, a deputy assistant attorney general in the antitrust division, said in an interview. So far, 34 individuals have been charged and 27 companies have pleaded guilty or agreed to do so, the Justice Department says. Collectively, they have agreed to pay more than $2.3 billion in fines. New cases have arisen with regularity,
with Attorney General Eric Holder promising last September that investigators “would check under every hood and kick every tire.” The most recent development came Thursday, when an executive from a Japanese company was charged with conspiring to fix the prices of heater control panels sold to Toyota and with persuading workers to destroy evidence.

WASHINGTON — An investigation into price-fixing and bid-rigging in the auto parts industry has mushroomed into the Justice Department’s largest criminal antitrust probe ever, and it’s not over yet. The investigation, made public four years ago with FBI raids in the
Detroit area, has led to criminal charges against dozens of people and companies, stretched across continents and reverberated through an industry responsible for supplying critical car components. The collusion has also saddled U.S. drivers with millions of dollars in extra costs. “It’s a very, very safe assumption that U.S. consumers paid more, and sometimes significantly more,

Rand Paul for president Sen. Rand Paul’s unexpected March 6-7, 2013, 13-hour filibuster speech against the appointment of John Brennan as head of the CIA was widely seen and reported. But, as customarily happens in this digital age,it was out of the media after a few days. Few of our kids, watching Facebook or texting, were aware of it, except in the very rare schools with class discussions and debates on contemporary issues relating crucially to citizenship. For me, Paul made real a fantasy I’d long held: That someone running for the presidency,as he clearly is,would focus insistently on what it means under our Constitution to be an American — with basic individual rights and liberties that no government has the authority to suspend or erase. During that crisply related filibuster, for example, he told a sizable, but briefly attentive nation: “Your government was given a few defined powers (by the Constitution), enumerated powers ... But your liberties are many ....When you read the Ninth and 10th Amendment(s), it says that those rights not explicitly given to government are left to the states and the people. They’re yours, not to be disparaged.” Hearing that, I wondered how many Americans know what is in the Ninth and 10th Amendments. Do you? Then Paul pounced: “They say that the United States is the battlefield (against terrorism) now ... This battlefield being here NAT at home means you don’t HENTOFF get due process at home ... “The question is, is if Columnist the government’s to decide who are sympathizers (with terrorists) and people who are politicians with no checks and balances are to decide who is a sympathizer, is there a danger really that people who have political dissent could be included in this?” Edward Snowden’s leaks on how relentlessly the government is spying on us have already answered that question. Paul’s filibuster speech also referred caustically to how the media is treating “bipartisanship” in Congress: “They see us not getting along on taxes and spending, but they fail to understand that on something very important,on whether an individual has a right not to be restrained indefinitely, there is quite a bit of partisanship, usually in the wrong direction.” Like Congress passing and Obama signing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which empowers the military to indefinitely imprison American citizens without a trial for “supporting” (not defined) terrorism. Where did Congress find the authority for endless “restraining”in the Constitution? As for the president, he has made it clear that he has a pen, and having been re-elected, he is the Constitution. A further sign of Paul’s libertarianism appeared on the front page of The New York Times a few weeks ago: “Paul Diverges From His Party Over Voter ID.” Speaking in Memphis, “a mostly black and Democratic city,” he spoke of the increasing difficulty in voting with stricter regulations in at least 30 states. “The bigger issue, actually,” he said in the Times,“is whether you get to vote if you have a felony conviction. There’s 180,000 people in Kentucky who can’t vote. And I don’t know the racial breakdown, but it’s probably more black than white because they’re convicted felons. And I’m for getting their right to vote back,which is a much bigger deal than showing your driver’s license.” And with a growing presence of government drone planes in the skies right here at home, Paul said as plainly as possible at the start of his filibuster: “I will speak as long as it takes, but until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that your rights to trial by jury are precious, that no American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court.” How many other presidential candidates of either party will be stressing that during their campaigns? And dig this: In 2011, Paul was one of 12 senators who voted against “three key provisions of the Patriot Act” that covered “roving wiretaps, ‘lone wolf’ terrorism suspects and the government’s ability to seize ‘any tangible items’ in the course of surveillance.” On March 7, 2014, Paul spoke at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, and at a rousing point in his speech, he said: “You may think I’m talking about electing Republicans. I’m not. I’m talking about electing lovers of liberty. It isn’t good enough to pick the lesser of two evils.We must elect men and women of principle, and conviction and action, who will lead us back to greatness.” These may have been just words, but I believe I have shown so far that this guy has not forgotten what it is to be an authentically active, Bill of Rights-acknowledging American. We sure need that kind of president in the White House.
Letters to the Editor Safe LNG plant is a fallacy Recently, readers of this page were treated to the kind of evidence that causes B.S. Oregon and the rest of the pro-LNG bully-boys to shout: “Nothing to see here, let’s move on!” On a recent visit to Boston, Richard Leshley noticed that it has “a large LNG facility,” and Boston is a crowded city with busy restaurants and a packed stadium during the World Series, so he concludes all must be well with LNG. Boston’s LNG terminal has existed since 1971, when LNG imports had just started and public concern was negligible. Then 9/11 caused Boston to be listed among the country’s top 10 terrorist targets by Congress, by FERC and by Al-Qaida; the main reason being its terminal’s potential for an urban firestorm and the live cremation of thousands of Bostonians. In response, Boston’s long-time mayor Menino tried to get it closed. He couldn’t, despite his argument that Boston’s emergency services could not possibly handle an LNG “pool fire.” Neither could the state of Massachusetts, according to state fire marshal Stephen Coan, who added: “. . . and I don’t think that you can train for that type of an incident.” But Mr. Leshley didn’t bother talking to those officials. Instead, he cited the LNG tank in the Newport harbor as further proof that LNG is safe. That tank, built in 1977, has a storage capacity of 14 percent of Jordan Cove. It’s not an import or export terminal but it holds a backup supply for Northwest Natural’s pipelines. The LNG tank in Plymouth, Wash., where a recent explosion caused a 2mile diameter evacuation, is the very same kind of facility. Is this reassuring? But the biggest elephant-inthe-room that Mr. Leshley ignored was that Boston does not face the virtual certainty of a massive earthquake and tsunami during Jordan Cove’s lifespan. If that catastrophe damages a tank or an LNG tanker, the prevailing winds will blow a huge pool fire across the bay, possibly incinerating the entire CB/NB peninsula. At that point, Jordan Cove’s vaunted firefighters will have abandoned their stations and run west, for their lives. The human survival instinct trumps many others. So does the desperation of those who will have lost everything thanks to that disaster. There will be no law, but there will be people looking for the blood of those who foisted this on us.

lings from being washed down into the drainage pipe each Spring, and to designate Mingus Park as a “no fishing” park. This last week, FOMP approached the city with an urgent plea to provide a mesh grill or netting over the drainage grill as there are newly hatched baby ducklings now. The baby goslings will follow shortly. FOMP members are very pleased with the city’s efforts to keep the wildfowl safe and healthy! On Wednesday (May 21) it was learned that within a week there will be a structure in place over the grill to prevent any more ducklings from an early demise. The implementation of vending machines with signs and other items supported by the parks master plan is awaiting grant funding which will greatly enhance the parks, and improve the health and safety of the wildlife. Emily Ashworth, an advisory member, stated, board “Ducklings can’t swim against the strong currents that will suck them down the pipe.” FOMP invites community members to join. Meetings are every other week at 4 p.m. at Kaffee 101 in Coos Bay. The next meeting is set for Wednesday, May 28. Call 408-499-5156 for more information. Kristi Kelty Friends of Mingus Park
Wind power math won’t work Wind energy won't work. I have had an alternative energy system since 2001. I experimented with two small-scale wind turbines. Later, I got interested in the math. The math tells the story. Wind power goes up on the CUBE of velocity. There is twice as much power at 14 mph as at 12 mph. Obviously, at 30 mph things are way out of hand. Then they must also move about to accommodate the wind direction. Engineering a transmission system that can survive such a steep output gradient without destruction is next to impossible. Thus, most systems are not producing much of anything valuable. They spin but they are not within their productive limits. Many in large farms are off. Above a small diameter, the tip speed of the rotor passes the speed of sound. So ones larger than about 6 feet must be geared. All of them must be feathered against damaging winds. This gets really expensive. The best in the world produce nationally insignificant contributions. The math will keep it that way. Stephen Dodd North Bend
Park ducklings safe once again
Book snatching was bad move
Friends of Mingus Park (FOMP) submitted a proposal and petition a year ago with 75 signatures, requesting healthy wildfowl food vending machines with educational signage, a mesh grill to prevent baby duck-
I am angry. Today's headline in The World says, "Book is pulled from North Bend class." The principal came into the AP History and Literature class with an empty box and asked the students to hand over their copies
of "The Bluest Eye," by Toni Morrison. In my day job, I dealt often with sexually abused children, neglected children, children who were extensively short-changed by the adults who were supposed to love and nurture them. Right here in my home town! To think that high school seniors are not deemed capable of being able to handle reading a book that talks about issues that are happening even in their own community is an insult to them and a grievous judgment error by "the powers that be." Boo and hiss to Principal Lucero and his band of administrative do-gooders. Nadine Allen Coos Bay
‘Bluest Eye’ has much to teach us As a 2013 graduate of North Bend High School, and a Connections survivor, I applaud Mr. Peters for choosing an edgy, thought provoking and intensely emotional post-modern American literary novel. It is, I believe, a little late to worry about the effect of sexually graphic material on teenagers. My generation has grown up listening to lectures about safe-sex, sexual orientation, alternative lifestyles, gender identification, pangender identification...We watch commercials about erectile dysfunction, female lubrication and feminine odor. Our TV shows and movies ooze under-age sex, inappropriate sex, deviant sex, sex for money and plain old porn. We are taught that everyone does it, everyone wants it and there are no consequences. Toni Morrison's book, "The Bluest Eye," is so much more than a graphic novel. Her characters are black Americans, but really, the destruction of the young, delicate protagonist, Pecola, is a story that happens to children of every color, all around the world. Case in point, I hate to think what the kidnapped Nigerian girls are going through right now. And Coos County certainly has it's own share of child molesters. Morrison's novel gives readers the opportunity to experience the pain and suffering of a victim of rape, and to examine the cultural, racial and personal issues that contribute to the development of both the perpetrators and victims of violence and rape. I know from my own experience that the Connections students will analyze Morrison's novel deeply and with great introspection. These are some of the brightest students on campus; if society deems them mature enough to have sex, babies and abortions, surely they are ready to grapple with the causes and effects of racism, broken families, violence and rape.

Be on alert for latest scam On Thursday, May 15, we received a call from our grandson asking for help. Tom (not his real
name) was very upset, as he had been arrested. He asked me to speak to the arresting officer, John Peters. The story “Officer Peters” provided was that Tom and a friend were in a cab that was driving erratically. The cab was pulled over and searched, and drugs were found inside. The officer assured me that Tom was not in trouble and had tested clean for drugs. The driver was the guilty party and they needed $7,000 to assure that Tom would return to court to testify against the driver. Tom was due to return home the following day. He was extremely embarrassed and didn’t want anyone else to know, but the money was needed ASAP so he could be released. To make a long ridiculous story short, we fell for it. We withdrew the money from our savings and had to send it via a Reload IT card. This card could only be purchased at Home Depot, Safeway or Lowes. We went to Safeway and the woman at the service desk was suspicious and suggested we speak to an attorney. We went to the public defender’s office where two wonderful women took the time to listen to our story, and were certain we were being the victims of a very clever scam. This “grandparent” scam is apparently very common with many worried grandparents loosing thousands of dollars hoping to help a troubled grandchild. I write this to warn people how easy it is to be taken in by a very smooth talking “police officer,” and also to thank the many wise women who took the time and were concerned enough to stop us from sending a quite large amount of money to thieves.

State Nosy new husband claims he has the right to snoop
Rare butterfly back in Willamette Valley refuge
DEAR ABBY: I married a great guy a short while ago. It’s the second marriage for both of us. He’s good to my kids, my parents, and even gets along with my ex-husband. “Stan” moved into my home after we married. DEAR T h e re ’s only one m a j o r problem I’m having trouble dealing with: He g o e s through all my things, JEANNE from my PHILLIPS mail to my closet. I have caught him going through my glove compartment, the trunk of my car and anything else he can get his hands on. He says he has a “right” to do it “because we are married,” but I don’t look at it that way. His first marriage did not go well. His ex didn’t cheat on him, so I don’t know where this is coming from. Abby, I am squeaky clean. I have never given him any reason not to trust me. I believe he’s just nosy. Meanwhile, I feel violated. I have tried talking to him about it, but he just doesn’t get it. Please help before I end my new marriage. — THE NEW MRS. IN DELAWARE DEAR NEW MRS.: “Great guys” do not rifle through their wives’ mail and perafter belongings sonal having been asked not to. You say your husband’s first marriage didn’t go well, and she didn’t cheat on him. Do you know what did cause their divorce? Your husband’s obsession with searching through your belongings is not normal behavior. There may be a chapter in his life you know nothing about. Because you have asked him to stop, and he is either unwilling or unable to, it may take help from a licensed psychotherapist to get to the bottom of it. Of course, in order for that to happen, your husband would have to be willing. If he isn’t, you may indeed have to decide whether you can live with this “quirk” of his or would be better off without him. DEAR ABBY: I am a teacher who loves my job. Now that the school year is winding down, may I ask you to pass on this suggestion to all the wonderful parents who send in gifts to their children’s teachers? My family has food allergies. For this reason, unless the lovingly baked goodies have ALL the ingredients listed on the wrapping paper, my family cannot enjoy them. I usually pass on these goodies to other teachers and neighbors. (Please don’t think I’m not appreciative; this is purely a medical precaution.) If I may suggest a gift idea: gift certificates for all kinds of flowers. How often do we receive the joy of flowers? Thank you for passing this along. — EDUCATOR IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR EDUCATOR: You’re welcome. While gift certificates for flowers are a wonderful idea, I’m sure a gift certificate for school supplies would also be welcomed, because many teachers purchase supplies for their classrooms out of their own funds. DEAR READERS: Along with the millions of Americans who are observing this Memorial Day, I would like to add my prayer of thanks to those men and women of our armed services who laid down their lives in service to our country. May they rest in peace. — Love, ABBY Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

CORVALLIS (AP) — The chilled butterfly was slow to emerge from the plastic tube that had housed her a few minutes before in a cooler. Emerging into the sun, she opened her wings, one marked with a blue “1.” After a pause, she was in the air, fluttering away on dusty brown wings into a patch of purple Kincaid’s lupine. The lupine is a threatened plant species in its own right and a critical host plant for the Fender’s blue butterfly, an endangered native of the Willamette Valley almost wiped out by human development. It was declared extinct in 1937 but rediscovered in 1989. The flowers had been planted on Pigeon Butte in the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge years before, in a separate restoration effort, and their presence makes it possible for the Fender’s blue to take hold there, the Corvallis Gazette-Times reported. “This is the first time we’ve had a planned release of Fender’s blue, ever,” said Paul Severns, a post-doctoral researcher at Oregon State University, who is using the release as a way to study which species of lupine the butterfly prefers for its eggs and larvae.

Zane Kesey poses with the latest version of the psychedelic bus Further in Pleasant Hill. Kesey is raising money on Kickstarter to put the bus on the road to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1964 LSDfueled bus trip by his late father, author Ken Kesey, and his pals, the Merry Pranksters.
Psychedelic bus gears up for 50th anniversary PLEASANT HILL (AP) — When the late author Ken Kesey and his pals, the Merry Pranksters, took their psychedelic bus ride across America to visit the New York World’s Fair, the nation was mourning President John F. Kennedy’s assassination and the Grateful Dead was not yet a band. And, perhaps most importantly, LSD was still legal. For their trip, they rode in a bus painted with brightly colored swirls, outfitted with a sound system and emblazoned with the word “Further” as the destination. Sporting short haircuts and red-white-and-blue sport shirts, they had plenty of marijuana and LSD. “The whole psychedelic scene came from that bus trip,” said Kesey’s son, Zane, who as a 3-year-old helped paint the bus and waved a tearful goodbye as it drove away. Now, on the 50th anniversary of the journey, Zane Kesey has launched a campaign on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter, looking for a few good modern-day Pranksters to contribute $200 each for a chance to do it all again, though on a different bus. And without the LSD. His father, who wrote “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” had been a guinea pig for government tests of the mind-altering drug and shared the experience at a series of parties at his home in the hills above Stanford University that became known as the Acid Tests. They featured a local bar band called The Warlocks, which turned into the Grateful Dead. After the trip,
the bus became the centerpiece as the Acid Tests went on the road. After a road trip to New York with his parents and wife, Faye, to see the stage production of “Cuckoo’s Nest,” Kesey thought it would be fun to get his friends to do another crosscountry ride that would serve as the basis for a movie, with LSD at the center, friend Ken Babbs said. It soon became clear that the family station wagon would not be big enough, so Kesey sent a friend up to San Francisco to check out an ad for an old school bus converted into a camper, with bunks and a kitchen, Babbs said. “I think it was $1,500,” he said. During the journey, the bus was pulled over by a policeman in California, got bogged down in an Arizona River and lost one of its crew to a bad trip in Texas. In Louisiana, the Pranksters jammed with a piano player in a New Orleans bar. In New York, they rolled through the streets playing their homemade music and met poet Alan Ginsberg, who took them to a Connecticut estate to meet LSD guru Timothy Leary. The movie never materialized as the new art form Kesey had envisioned, a victim of the film and audio tapes reproducing at different speeds that couldn’t be synchronized until 30 years later with the help of digital technology. Kesey died in 2001. Texas A&M historian Terry Anderson, author of the book, “The Sixties,” said the bus trip was too early to kick off the counterculture,
adding that it was overshadowed by the Beatles and the signing of the Civil Rights Act the same year. But the tapes and film gave author Tom Wolfe the material he needed for his 1968 book, “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test,” which made the trip a touchstone of the psychedelic era. Babbs said Kesey himself never claimed to have started the psychedelic era, but he was happy to ride the wave. “We were too young to be beats, and too old to be hippies,” he said. “We were really our own thing.” Embarking at the end of July, the anniversary trip is making no attempt to recreate the old one, and follows a more northerly route, visiting a series of arts and music festivals. People who want a chance to get on the bus must invest $200, and pass a series of tests, answering questions such as whether they like movies about gladiators. The chosen will get a token to board the bus for a leg, and join in making a new movie. Though not even born when the original bus embarked on June 17, 1964, Joshua Priest, 26, and Andrea Castillo, 21, of Menisee, California, are determined to get onboard. Grateful Dead fans who learned about the bus trip by reading Wolfe’s book, they learned about the anniversary expedition on Facebook and raised $400 with a garage sale. Castillo, a graphic arts student, created a series of drawings answering the questions. “That’s what life is about: taking chances and having fun,” she said.
Severns and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists released “Blue No. 1” and 49 other Fender’s blue butterflies Wednesday morning, the third of four releases of butterflies at the site. The releases began May 14 and concluded Thursday. The researchers also released around 40 Fender’s blue larvae to the site in April, and some of them have been observed at the site as adult butterflies. Before the reintroductions, there were no Fender’s blue butterflies in the refuge, even though the area is part of the species’ historic range between Portland and Eugene. The project to reintroduce the butterfly to the Finley refuge in south Benton County included clearing invasive species, often with controlled burns, said Molly Monroe, a federal biologist at the refuge. The funds for the reintroduction and restoration projects are part of a fouryear, $650,000 federal grant that has also supported restoration of the Oregon chub, a native minnow that could soon be removed from the endangered species list. The funds also are being used for restoration work to benefit the Fender’s blue in Baskett Slough near Dallas.
Feds say helicopter pilot didn’t see power lines PORTLAND (AP) — A federal investigation has concluded that a helicopter pilot flying two state biologists on a low-altitude fish counting survey in Southern Oregon last fall was making a turn and didn’t see a power line that the main rotor blades hit. All three people survived, but one of the biologists hasn’t been able to return to duty. A National Transportation Safety Board report dated May 5 said the pilot and biologists had seen two power lines during the trip Oct. 28 along the South Umpqua River southeast of Roseburg. It said they had finished surveying a channel and decided to circle back, but then they decided they didn’t need to. It said the pilot made a left turn “and immediately observed blue sparks and a wire contact on the upper windscreen bubble.” The chopper fell 50 feet into the river. Rescue workers got the three out of the
water, the Roseburg NewsReview reported. Biologist Holly Huchko suffered a broken back and remains off work on disability. There is no estimate when she might return, department spokeswoman Meghan Dugan said. Her colleague, Eric Himmelreich, returned to work in mid-March and is working in the field to design fish habitat restoration projects, Dugan said. Mark Gibson, owner of the Ashland-based helicopter company, said pilot Fred Wittlake is “doing well. He’s recovered for the most part.” He suffered a broken arm and ribs. Wittlake did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The department still contracts with the helicopter company for aerial surveys of wildlife surveys, primarily elk. Surveys of spawning fish are conducted in the fall. Dugan said the agency is looking into alternatives to having biologists fly.
Official connected with Cover Oregon resigns PORTLAND (AP) — Another official tied to the development of Oregon’s troubled health insurance exchange has resigned. State officials announced Thursday that Steve Powell, deputy chief information officer at the Oregon Health Authority, is leaving for a new job. The Oregonian reports Powell’s last day is June 5. Powell was a deputy to Carolyn Lawson, former top technology manager at the agency whose team was in charge of the early development of Cover Oregon’s website. Lawson resigned in December. Powell replaced Lawson on an interim basis. Last month, the state brought back Lawson’s predecessor, John Koreski, to replace Powell as interim, and Powell became his deputy. Powell is the sixth official connected to the Cover Oregon debacle to resign.

3 ways to cut your bills by 10 percent or more Money a little tight? The secret to getting the cash coming in to exceed the cash going out is to reduce your spending. It’s as simple — and as tough — as that. But once you understand that cutting expenses is really like giving yourself a taxf r e e raise, the EVERYDAY job gets CHEAPSKATE m u c h e a s i e r. T h e challenge is to find realistic yet painless ways to trim spending without Mary taking all Hunt of the fun out of your life. Go on a cash diet. It’s best to spend only cash in order to curb mindless spending. Surveys indicate that cash customers are more mindful of what they’re doing, and therefore spend 17 to 23 percent less than those who pay with plastic. Also, limit ATM trips to once a week. Develop an envelope system for areas that can get out of control, such as office lunches and entertainment. Take your ATM cash and distribute it among your marked envelopes. When you go to lunch or a movie, take the money from the corresponding envelope. When the money is gone, that means no more spending until the next fill-up. Tip: A $100 bill stashed in your wallet will give you an uncanny sense of security and willingness to leave the plastic and checkbook at home. Equally remarkable, you will be reluctant to break it to buy a cup of coffee or new lipstick. Slash the cost of hot w ater. Twenty percent of your utility bills may be attributed to the water heater, which does nothing but keep about 40 gallons of water very hot, day in and day out. Keep the water temperature on low or 120 F (the highest temperature recommended for a household with children or the elderly, and the lowest temperature recommended for washing clothes) or to a temperature that is comfortable for your needs. Check the instructions on the water heater for exactly how to do this. Tip: For every 10 F you lower the temperature, you will save about 10 percent of your water-heating costs — a considerable savings over the course of a year. Save even more by buying a $35 electric water-heater timer, available at most home improvement centers. The timer — which you can install in less than an hour — lets you set specific on and off times that suit your lifestyle so the water is hot when you need it. S t o p S h o p p i n g . Unless you have a specific need for something in particular and the money to pay for it, don’t wander aimlessly through the mall or surf the Internet to see what looks good. Instead, plan purchases, and then find the best value for what you need. Remember, you rarely discover a true need while in a store. T i p : As you identify a need, write it on your “To Buy” list for your next planned purchasing trip.

Big insurance rate hikes in the future? BY TOM MURPHY The Associate Press The wild hikes in health insurance rates that blindsided many Americans in recent years may become less frequent because of the health care overhaul. Final rates for 2015 won’t be out for months, but early filings from insurers suggest price increases of 10 percent or more. That may sound like a lot, but rates have risen as much as 20 or 30 percent in recent years. The rates that emerge over the next few months for 2015 will carry considerable political weight, since they will come out before Republicans and Democrats settle their fight for Congressional control in next fall’s midterm elections. Republicans are vowing to make failures of the law a main theme of their election push, and abnormally high premiums might bolster their argument. In addition to insuring millions of uninsured people, the other great promise of the massive health care overhaul was to tame the rate hikes that had become commonplace in the market for individual insurance coverage. No one expects price increases to go away, but some nonpartisan industry watchers say they do expect the big hikes to hit less frequently in the years to come, even though it’s still early in the law’s implementation. They point to competition and greater scrutiny fostered by the law as key factors. Public insurance exchanges that debuted last fall and were created by the law make it easier for customers to compare prices. The overhaul also prevents insurers from rejecting customers because of their health. That means someone who develops a health condition like high blood pressure isn’t stuck in the same plan year after year because other insurers won’t take her. She can now shop around. The Urban Institute, a nonpartisan policy research organization, said in a recent report that competition will help restrain individual insurance prices next year. And it could have a lasting impact once the new markets for coverage stabilize in a few years, said Larry Levitt, an insurance expert with the Kaiser Family Foundation, which analyzes health policy issues. “Now if a plan tries to raise premiums a lot, people can vote with their feet and move to another plan,” Levitt said. Greater scrutiny by regulators could also keep rates from skyrocketing. The overhaul requires a mandatory review of rate increases larger than 10 percent, which can lead to public attention that insurers don’t want. “Nobody’s going to get a rate increase unless they truly deserve it,” said Dave Axene, a fellow of the Society of Actuaries, who is working with insurers in several states to figure out pricing. “The rigor that we had to go through to prove that the rates were reasonable, it’s worse than an IRS audit at times.” To be sure, insurers and others in the field say it’s too early to fully understand what pricing trends will emerge for individual insurance plans, which make up a small slice of the insured population. And some experts aren’t convinced of any one outcome of the law. Industry consultant Bob Laszewski called the idea that the exchanges will reign in prices by promoting competition an “unproven theory.” “No one has any idea what this risk really looks like yet and probably won’t for two to three years,” he said. Karen Ignagni agrees. The CEO of the trade association America’s Health Insurance Plans, which represents insurers, said competition between insurers will mean little if too many sick people sign up for coverage on the exchanges. Insurers need a balance between sick and healthy people to avoid big claim hits that lead to future rate hikes.

Students comfort each other during a candlelight vigil held Saturday on the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara to honor the victims of Friday night’s mass shooting. Sheriff’s officials say Elliot Rodger, 22, went on a rampage near UC Santa Barbara, stabbing three people to death at his apartment before shooting and killing three more in a crime spree through a nearby neighborhood.
Calif. gunman kills 6 people GOLETA, Calif. (AP) — A California gunman who went on a rampage near a Santa Barbara university stabbed three people to death at his apartment before shooting to death three more in a terrorizing crime spree through a neighborhood, sheriff’s officials said Saturday. The three people in the apartment were among the six left dead Friday night during the shootings near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Elliot Rodger, 22, the suspected gunman, apparently killed himself, authorities said. At a news conference, Sheriff Bill Brown called it a “chaotic, rapidly unfolding convoluted incident” that involved multiple crime scenes. Police provided new details about the scope of the killings as they described how he went from one location to another and opened fire on random people and exchanged gunfire with law enforcement before he crashed his BMW. Brown said the suspect had more than 400 rounds of unspent ammunition in his car.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairmen of House and Senate Veterans Affairs Committees on Sunday decried long waits and backlogs at the nations VA hospitals but stopped short of calling for the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki. “You’ve got an entrenched bureaucracy that exists out there that is not held accountable, that is shooting for goals, goals that are not helping the veterans,” said Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House panel “I think some people may by cooking the books” to suggest waiting times are shorter that they actually are, said Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who chairs the counterpart Senate committee. Both chairmen were interviewed on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Meanwhile, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that the Justice Department “has to be involved.” He said there is “credible and specific evidence of criminal wrongdoing across the country” at VA hospitals. “We’re not rushing to judgment. But the Department of Justice can convene a grand jury, if necessary,” Blumenthal said. Lawmakers from both parties have pressed for policy changes and better management as the Department of Veterans Affairs confronts allegations about treatment delays and falsified records at VA centers around the country. The program serves nearly 9 million veterans. President Barack Obama did not mention the VA issue in a speech on Sunday to U.S. troops in Afghanistan during a surprise visit.
Brown identified Rodger as a student at Santa Barbara City College. Rodger fired for 10 minutes as he made his way through the beach community of Isla Vista where students were walking, biking and skateboarding in a deadly rampage that chillingly mirrored threats made on a YouTube video posted that same night, authorities said. Seven others remained hospitalized with serious injuries. Authorities confirmed
Rodger was the shooter and said they had seized a semiautomatic handgun. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he was killed by gunfire in two shootouts with deputies or if he committed suicide. Investigators were analyzing a YouTube video in which a young man who identifies himself as Elliot Rodger sits in a car and looks at the camera, laughing often, and says he is going to take his revenge against humanity. “It’s obviously the work of
Russia ready to speak with new Ukrainian president
MOSCOW (AP) — Moscow is ready for a direct dialogue with Ukraine’s new president and doesn’t need any Western mediation, Russia’s foreign minister said Monday.

fought government troops. He said that “we are ready for dialogue with Kiev representatives, with Petro Poroshenko.” He added that “we don’t need any mediators,” in a reference to a possible role of the United States and the European Union in such talks. With votes from 60 percent of precincts counted early Monday, Poroshenko was leading the Ukrainian elections with about 54 percent in the field of 21 candidates. Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was running a distant second with 13 percent. The 48-year-old billionaire, who claimed victory after exit polls showed him with a commanding lead in
Sunday’s vote, has said he supports strong ties with Europe but also wants to mend ties with Russia. Speaking after the polls closed, Poroshenko promised a dialogue with residents of eastern Ukraine and to guarantee their rights, including the right to speak Russian. He said he was ready to extend amnesty to those who haven’t taken up weapons and that meetings with Russia should be held as soon as possible. “And I think that Russia is our neighbor. And without Russia it would be much less effective or almost impossible to speak about the security in the whole region or maybe about the global security,” Poroshenko said.
Obama to outline case for a limited foreign policy WASHINGTON (AP) — Confronting critics of his foreign policy, President Barack Obama will soon outline a strategy for his final years in office that aims to avoid overreach as the second of the two wars he inherited comes to a close. The president will make the case for that seemingly more limited approach during a commencement address Wednesday at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. The speech will come amid growing frustration in the White House with Republicans and other critics who contend that Obama has weakened America’s standing around the world and faltered on problems across the Middle East and in Russia, China and elsewhere. Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser, said the president had not yet finalized his decision and no announcement was expected while he is in Afghanistan. Rhodes spoke with reporters accompanying Obama on a surprise visit to U.S. troops serving in the closing months of the Afghanistan war. Even so, Rhodes said, “You can expect to hear additional clarity from the president on
a madman,” Bill Brown said. Earlier Saturday, Alan Shifman — a lawyer who represents Peter Rodger, one of the assistant directors on “The Hunger Games” — issued a statement saying his client believes his son, Elliot Rodger, was the shooter. It was unclear how the son would have obtained a gun. The family is staunchly against guns, he added. “The Rodger family offers their deepest compassion and sympathy to the families involved in this terrible tragedy. We are experiencing the most inconceivable pain, and our hearts go out to involved,” everybody Shifman said. Richard Martinez said his son Christopher Martinez, 20, was killed in the shooting. He blamed politicians and gun-rights proponents. “When will this insanity stop? ... Too many have died. We should say to ourselves ‘not one more,”’ he said. The shootings started around 9:30 p.m. in Isla Vista, a roughly half-squaremile community next to UC Santa Barbara’s campus and picturesque beachside cliffs.

Australia CANBERRA, (AP) — An Australian senator startled his colleagues by producing a fake pipe bomb during a committee hearing Monday. Sen. Bill Heffernan, who represents the ruling Liberal Party, was making a point about a relaxation of security at Parliament House. The 71-year-old wheat farmer said he had “brought this through security: a pipe bomb.” From a plastic shopping bag, he took out what looked like a pipe bomb and several sticks of dynamite taped together, as he explained how he used to blast tree stumps on a farm.

opportunities and less funding for rural schools, a long-standing trend that needs to change, said Coquille’s Lincoln Elementary Principal Sharon Nelson. “It gets exhausting,” she said. “If you’re not on the I-5 corridor, you’re in no man’s land. We work every bit as hard and with fewer resources.” Foggy legislation and constant changes make it hard for all Oregon schools to trust Salem, they said. This spring, the state legislature passed House Bill 4150, backpedaling on 2011 Legislation that many school districts interpreted as mandating “proficiency grading.” Districts put a lot of time and thousands of dollars into moving to proficiency-based grading systems, which makes this reversal frustrating, said Myrtle Point High
Principal Jennifer Sweeney. South Coast school officials asked Golden to make sure the intention behind education policy is solidified before it’s put into law. More mandates mean more — and, they said, often unnecessary — paperwork that especially burdens small school districts with limited staff. “Somebody’s got to figure out how to get a hold of the legislators and educate them about this random junk they do to us all the time,” said Myrtle Point schools Superintendent Bruce Shull. “It continually undermines everything everybody in this room is trying to do.” This spring, the Legislature also announced a new educator evaluation system, which the U.S. Department of Education has to approve in order for the state to retain its flexibil-
ity waiver regarding requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Most at the Coquille meeting like the new system, which, in part, evaluates teachers based on student performance. But they don’t see the point of another step, a Peer Review Panel, a regional overview of each local evaluation. “It sounds like distrust,” said Reedsport’s Highland Elementary principal Jim Thomas. Golden continued her South Coast tour Wednesday night at SWOCC and ORCCA. On Thursday, she traveled to Port OrfordLanglois schools.

“ODOT did not talk to anyone,” Smith said. “We have a school, a church, businesses, the library and they had managed somehow not to be aware that there was a culture here.” ODOT’s one-day study in January revealed that 78 percent of the vehicles in that area were exceeding the 40 mph speed, so they recommended rescinding the zone. In response, Smith asked ODOT representatives to come meet with residents. They agreed, and a record 80 people filled the Langlois Library on May 1, many expressing anger and disbelief with ODOT’s decision. Carol Waxham, owner of Raincoast Arts Gallery, noticed the speed drivers were traveling in front of her shop increased after the change and she was concerned. “People are amazed at how fast the cars and trucks are traveling by,” Waxham said. “This is a town — a small one, but there are more residents here than you think and a lot of them walk.” In fact, Smith estimates there are 700 residents when you count the area surrounding Langlois, including Langlois Mountain and along Floras Creek and Floras Lake. Jake Pestana, owner of Langlois Market, said the population swells in the summer. He favors a speed of 30 to 35 mph, as do Waxham, Smith and others. A crosswalk would be nice, too, Pestana said. “The general consensus is that it’s not safe,” Pestana said. The uproar from residents at the first meeting prompted ODOT to schedule another meeting May 22.
documents to avoid paper trails. With an eye toward eliminating competition and maximizing profits, they exploited an industry that experts say is in some ways vulnerable to collusion: There are a finite number of purchasers and suppliers, there’s steady pressure among companies to cut prices — and car parts, unlike certain products that have a great deal of variability, are generally standardized
and homogeneous. “The firms will just make more money if they’re able to reach and stick to an agreement to collectively charge higher prices so that customers can’t get them to bid against each other,” said Spencer Weber Waller, director of the Institute for Antitrust Consumer Studies at the Loyola University Chicago law school. “The problem is, of course, it’s a felony in the United States.” The Justice Department
first publicly surfaced aspects of the investigation when FBI agents in Detroit raided the offices of Denso Corp, Yazaki North America and Tokai Rika. All three companies have pleaded guilty to their roles in pricefixing and bid-rigging schemes. Since the raids, the probe has broadened to encompass about $5 billion worth of auto parts, including seat belts, ignition coils, steering wheels, air bags, windshield
wipers and rubber parts that dampen vibration. Similar cartels have formed in industries ranging from oil and gas to cement and vitamins, though there’s debate among economists about how long they can last, given the constant incentive for one member to cheat the others and the tendency to collapse under their own weight as they keep growing, said Daniel Crane, a University of Michigan law professor.

ODOT listened. “We provided options and one was to move (the sign back to its original place) and also to add enhancements for intersection signage and bike and pedestrian signage,” ODOT District Manager Darrin Neavoll said. Neavoll said about half the number of people showed up to the second meeting and weren’t as upset as they were at the first one. “We agreed to work on some things this summer and get back together this fall,” Neavoll said. Those will include traffic counts and speed studies in the summer rather than winter. Langlois residents also agreed the town needs a welcome sign to encourage travelers to slow down and even stop and stroll, but that wouldn’t be an ODOT project. In addition, ODOT has now placed an electronic speed sign across from the library that lets drivers know how fast they’re going. It will be used throughout town this summer. “Everybody’s relieved to start this over again and get more studies done,” said resident Carolyn Boothe, who attended both meetings. “(ODOT) basically calmed everyone down, but (people are) still really upset.” As to lowering the speed to 30 mph,Neavoll said that likely won’t happen. Not only is ODOT driven by Oregon Revised Statutes regarding highway speed, there’s no precedent along the coast for such a zone in an unincorporated area. The only area outside a city that has a less than 40 mph zone is Gardiner, which is 35 mph. That zone hasn’t been revisited for many years, Neavoll said, and was probably set when the mill was active and should be changed.
But the collusion in these cases, which in some instances lasted more than a decade, was “deftly done,” said Joe Wiesenfelder, executive editor of Cars.com, who has followed the auto parts investigation. Meanwhile, the Justice Department says it’s looking into additional misconduct in an investigation that bears all the hallmarks of classic antitrust law-breaking. “This one,” Snyder said, “has it all.”

Playoffs
Bulldogs will host Newport THE WORLDS North Bend’s baseball team will open the playoffs against a familiar foe Wednesday. The Bulldogs host Newport at 5 p.m. in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs. The teams played twice earlier this year, with the Cubs winning both — 8-5 in the Yaquina Bay Classic and 14-7 at North Bend. The latter game was North Bend’s last loss before a phenomenal run through Far West League play, when North Bend went 17-1. North Bend is 17-9 overall and Newport is 15-8. The winner gets either topranked Sisters or Mazama in the second round. Reedsport, meanwhile, travels to Kennedy on Wednesday. The Braves finished strong in the second half of the season and stand 16-8 overall. Kennedy is 24-3 and ranked third in Class 2A-1A. Gold Beach opens at home Wednesday against Portland Christian. The Panthers dominated District 5 and finished the regularseason 19-7 overall. Portland Christian is 21-5. In softball, Marshfield will be right back in the same area near Portland where the Pirates won their play-in game last week, this time facing Gladstone. The Gladiators will be a tough challenge, entering the game 25-1 on the season, the lone loss to Hood River Valley on April 1. Marshfield is 17-10, but has won nine straight, including its victory at La Salle Prep last week. Gold Beach’s softball team will travel to the Columbia River Gorge to face top-ranked WestonMcEwen. Weston-McEwen is 23-1 and Gold Beach is 15-12.
Beckett fires no-hitter PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Josh Beckett transformed himself from power pitcher to deceptive hurler after a winless, injury-plagued season ended with surgery. He still dominates, but in a different way. Beckett pitched the first nohitter of his stellar career and the first in the majors this season, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 Sunday. “You don’t think at this point of your career that you’re going to do that,” Beckett said. Certainly not after a miserable 2013. Beckett was nearly derailed by a nerve condition that left him unable to feel his fingertips. He even had to learn to hold the steering wheel with his left hand because he couldn’t feel his right hand. Now he’s healthy and pitching like a guy with three All-Star games, two World Series rings and a World Series MVP award on his resume. On this day, he was downright nasty. “For him to be able to do that is nice,” manager Don Mattingly said. “Just for everything that he’s been through with us, the surgery last year, he just seemed to change himself as a pitcher and is using the breaking ball more.” Beckett stuck out six, walked three and didn’t come close to allowing a hit against a lineup that included two former NL MVPs and four former All-Stars. The 34year-old right-hander threw 128 pitches. He fanned five-time AllStar Chase Utley on a called strike three to end the game. Fi g u r i n g U t l ey wa s n ’t expecting a fastball with a nohitter on the line, Beckett fired a 94 mph heater right down the middle. “I was trying to think along with him,” Beckett said. Beckett mixed a sharp fastball with a slow curve that kept hitters off-balance while retiring 23 straight batters in one stretch. SEE BECKETT | B4

North Bend’s Wyatt Cunningham flies over the high jump bar Saturday during the state track meet at Hayward Field. Cunningham won the event for the third consecutive year.
Bulldogs capture first state title BY JOHN GUNTHER The World
EUGENE — North Bend’s Wyatt Cunningham made school history Saturday in the high jump, then gutted out a surprising win in the 200 meters to help the Bulldogs take home their first state championship. His efforts were needed to help the Bulldogs overcome a missed handoff that cost them any points in the 4x100-meter relay. North Bend finished with 51 points, to 50 for Hidden Valley and 48 for Scappoose. Until Cunningham’s win in the
200, the team title was somewhat in doubt. “I knew I needed to win,” said Cunningham, who set a personal best with his time of 22.21 seconds. “It’s turning into a team thing. There’s extra pressure to get it done. I knew it.” Matt Woods also had a big part in the team title, finishing second in the 100 meters. Brandon Ellwagner of Baker edged Woods 11.06 to 11.07 in a near photo finish. “I was running (angry),” Woods said. Woods had been part of the missed handoff in the relay. He ran
a great second leg to put North Bend into the lead, but then wasn’t able to catch Drew Matthews in the exchange zone, ending North Bend’s race. Matthews, in his first year in track and field, gave North Bend a boost by placing eighth in the long jump Thursday. “Over the past two days, we had events we didn’t score in,” said Woods, adding that he was proud of the entire team for winning even with the missed opportunities. In addition to the relay, Woods just missed the finals in the 200 meters and Cam Lucero came up
just short of the final in the high hurdles. Earlier in the day, Cunningham became the first North Bend athlete to win a single event at state three times when he took the high jump while teammates Kena Shay and Kenzie Gauntz were placing first and second in the girls pole vault to captivate the morning Hayward Field crowd. Cunningham took three tries at 6 feet, 10.5 inches, which would have broken his own school record and the meet record, but failed — his only misses of the competition. SEE BULLDOGS | B2
Marshfield girls earn third-place trophy BY JOHN GUNTHER The World
EUGENE — Marshfield’s girls used one phenomenal relay as a springboard to earning a trophy in the Class 4A state meet at Hayward Field on Saturday. The quartet of Isabel Groth, Adryana Chavez, Hailee Woolsey and Brittany Cook sped to a season-best time of 50.12 seconds, which was second only to the powerful North Valley squad that features standout twins Kerissa and Venessa D’Arpino. “That was so fun, a good way to start the day,” Cook said. The key was flawless work in the exchange zones, she said. “Our handoffs were great,” Cook said. “It was a big PR.” Adding to the excitement, Cook said, is that all the Marshfield girls will be back next spring. Cook and Chavez also had individual events Saturday, along with standout distance runner Shaylen Crook, helping the Pirates
to third in the final standings. Chavez was favored coming into the triple jump, but placed second behind Sutherlin’s Brittany Coleman. “I’m disappointed, but it’s OK,” Chavez said. “I made it here.” She was much happier about the team event. “I’m so proud of the relay girls,” she said. Crook had another strong race in the 1,500 after winning the 3,000 on Friday, settling for third place with a new best of 4 minutes, 46.83 seconds. Crook said she wasn’t unhappy with her race, especially since she set a personal record. Charlie Davidson of Scappoose took off at a torrid pace, and Crook was the only runner who tried to go with her. “I wasn’t going to settle for second,” she said. “I had to try. “She ran a great race. Every time I tried to pass her, she sped up.”

Hunter-Reay ends American drought in Indy 500 Pass just before the final lap gives driver his first Indy victory ■
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ryan Hunter-Reay peeked around Helio Castroneves, then reversed course and dipped inside for a daredevil pass and the lead in the Indianapolis 500. Castroneves charged back to the front, winning a drag race down the frontstretch at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. And then, in a stirring wheel-towheel battle between a pair of bright yellow cars, Hunter-Reay seized the lead once more Sunday as the drivers hurtled across the Yard of Bricks with a single, 2.5mile lap remaining. With nobody in front of him,

Ryan Hunter-Reay celebrates after winning the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. Hunter-Reay used the entire track to keep Castroneves in his rearview mirror. He nipped him at
the line by less than half a car length, denying his Brazilian rival a chance at history Sunday and
becoming the first American in eight years to win the Indy 500. “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” had lived up to its nickname. “This race was ridiculously close and competitive,” HunterReay said. “Just glad I picked the right time to go.” The finish was well worth the wait — to the fans who watched 150 laps of caution-free racing, to the drivers who bided their time unsure of when they should charge to the front and to HunterReay, who finally got to drink the celebratory milk in his seventh try. He beat Castroneves by just 0.060 seconds — only the 1992 race had a closer finish when Al Unser Jr. beat Scott Goodyear by 0.043 seconds. SEE INDY | B4

GOLF Scott beats Dufner in playoff at Colonial
By Alysha Beck, The World
Cubs sign Ramirez to FORT WORTH, Texas — North Bend’s Kena Shay clears the bar in the pole vault, winning the event Saturday at the state track meet in Eugene. Teammate Kenzie Gauntz work with minor leaguers Adam Scott made a 7-foot placed second.
BULLDOGS Shay, Gauntz go 1-2 in pole vault From Page B1 “It got real emotional after I won,” Cunningham said. “I squeezed out 6-8, and at 6-10 it got to me. “I knew I had won three times. That’s never been done at North Bend High School.” Cunningham also had company on the award stand from a teammate for the first time. James Jordan, who was competing in the state tennis tournament a day earlier, placed sixth by clearing 6 feet, earning three big points in the team race. “I’m happy he came,” Cunningham said. “He had tennis yesterday. Fortunately, they didn’t do as good.” Jordan and doubles partner Stewart Lyons were eliminated with two losses in tennis Friday. He said Saturday’s success more than made up for that disappointment. “I think it’s awesome,” Jordan said. Jordan’s tennis misfortune led to points for the track team, which only were made possible when he cleared the opening height on his third attempt and then got over 6 feet on his first try. North Bend also got a valuable three points in the triple jump from sophomore Drae Stark, who placed sixth. “I’m happy,” said Stark,

Saturday was an ideal finish for this year, in perfect conditions. “It couldn’t have happened any better,” Gauntz said of the 1-2 finish. “That was our goal all season.” North Bend’s girls got one other point Saturday, when Gabby Hobson placed eighth in the 800 meters. In the boys team race, Siuslaw missed out on the trophies all together, passed on the last event by Scappoose and Central. Mack Marbas walked away with his second individual win of the weekend for the Vikings when he out-kicked Brandon Pollard of Sisters in the 1,500 meters Saturday. Marbas made his move in the third lap to combat a slow pace, and clocked 58 seconds for the final 400 to finish in 3:58.47 — Pollard was timed in 3:58.83. “It’s awesome,” Marbas said. “Pollard is really good.” Marbas said he felt he had no choice but to surge ahead early. “I knew I had to move, because I know he is fast.” Like North Bend in the relay, Siuslaw missed chances for bigger points. Seth Campbell was sixth in the 1,500 and then a disappointing seventh in the 800. Jonathan Peterson was fifth in the 400 and Joseph Dotson was sixth in the 300 hurdles. Jones placed eighth in the triple jump. The relay team finished 10th.
PIRATES From Page B1 Crook caught up with Davidson a couple of times, but couldn’t get by, and the Scappoose runner used her 800-meter speed to pull away down the stretch. Meanwhile, Central’s Abby McBeth caught Crook just before the finish line. “I did see Abby on the Jumbotron,” Crook said of Hayward Field’s scoreboard. “I tried so hard.” Marshfield also just missed points in the shot put, when Tracee Scott was passed for eighth place in the final round. Like Crook, Groth gave the Pirates points Friday with her efforts in the long jump. Marshfield finished with 40 points, six behind runner-up Crook County. The team title went to North Valley, which had 64 points led by the twins. Kerissa set a new meet record in the 100, with her time of 11.94, and also took the 200. Venessa won the 400. Both twins beat all the other runners from every classification in all three races. Marshfield’s boys had a single placer Saturday. Hunter Drops finished sixth in the javelin, with a throw of 169-9. “It’s OK,” he said. “It wasn’t my best day.” Drops was great early in the season, but had an injured shoulder for much of the year and had to take it easy. The winner of the event was Brookings-Harbor’s Ronnie Manley, a baseball player who joined the track team this spring and developed into a standout in the event. Manley won with a throw of 182-5 on his final attempt to pass runner-up Zebh Bresser of Henley.

Sports No. 1 Ducks reach World Series EUGENE (AP) — Janie Takeda drove in three runs on two hits and the Oregon Ducks advanced to the women’s College World Series with a 6-2 victory over Minnesota Sunday in their NCAA Super Regional. The top-seeded Ducks (54-7-1) are making their second trip to the College World Series in three seasons. The Ducks will face eighth-seeded Florida State when the tournament gets underway on Thursday in Oklahoma City. Janelle Lindvall’s RBI single scored Janie Takeda in the first inning. Takeda added a run-scoring double in the third before scoring on Koral Costas’ grounder to short.
Minnesota (44-12) narrowed it in the bottom half on Tyler Walker’s 2-run home run. Takeda’s two-run triple in the top of the seventh sealed it for the Ducks. She scored on a wild pitch for the final margin and the fans chanted “OKC! OKC!” at Howe Field. Cheridan Hawkins (32-4) allowed two runs on three hits over seven innings for the Ducks. Sara Moulton (27-8) allowed six runs on nine hits over six innings for Minnesota, which was making its first Super Regional appearance. Oregon won the opener of the Super Regional 10-2 on Saturday night.
INDY
car blew an engine late. Busch ended up completing about 907 miles. “All in all, I’m very pleased. I cannot believe the execution of this team,” Busch said before hustling away for a helicopter ride to his waiting plane. “I tried to enjoy it. My throat’s real dry because I was smiling the whole time and the fresh air was coming in my mouth.” Marco Andretti appeared to have a shot at the win, but after the final restart he never could mix it up with HunterReay and Castroneves as the two leaders swapped position four times in the final five laps. So certain his son would be a contender for the victory Sunday, Michael Andretti was just as thrilled with Hunter-Reay’s win. “Ryan’s just been a huge part of our team, a great guy, a friend,” said Michael Andretti, who won for the third time as a team owner. “He deserves it. He deserves to have his face on that trophy. If it couldn’t be Marco, he’s the next guy I wanted.” A year ago, Hunter-Reay was passed for the lead with three laps remaining and went on to finish third as the race finished under caution. He was leading Sunday and had control of the race until Townsend Bell’s crash brought out the red flag. Hunter-Reay figured he was a sitting duck as the leader, his chances over. “I can’t get a break,” he lamented on his team radio. But after swapping the lead with Castroneves three times, including a dramatic inside move in Turn 3, Hunter-Reay made the final and decisive pass as the two cars took the white flag. “At the end of the day there’s stupid and bravery, and I think we were right there on the edge, both of us,” Castroneves said. “I’m glad we both come out in a good way. I’m sad it did not come out the way I wanted.”

Jimmie Johnson (48) passes Matt Kenseth (20) for the lead in the closing laps of the NASCAR Sprint Cup series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday.
From Page B1
Johnson races to first win of 2014 CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — About the only one not worried about Jimmie Johnson’s victory drought this season was the Sprint Cup defending champion. After his dominating show this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Johnson gave his competitors plenty to worry about. Johnson reached Victory Lane for the first time this season at the CocaCola 600, finishing off a dominating week at a track many have called “Jimmie’s House.” “It’s great to win, but believe me, and I promise you, all the hype and all the concern and worry, that was elsewhere. That wasn’t in my head,” Johnson said. Now, Johnson can think about his record-breaking seventh Cup win at Charlotte, about his 13th straight NASCAR season with a victory or about his fourth 600 victory to trail only Darrell Waltrip’s five in the series’ longest race. And maybe throw a scare into opponents that Johnson’s run at top isn’t over yet. “They know we are awake,” Johnson said. “Hopefully, the 48 is heading that way and we can give other people something to think about.” This time, Johnson swept past Matt Kenseth nine laps from the end and was never pressured after that. Johnson earned the pole Thursday night, was strong at practice Saturday and led 165 of 400 laps Sunday. Kevin Harvick, who led 100 laps, was second. Kenseth finished third with Carl Edwards fourth. Jamie McMurray, the All-Star race winner last weekend at the track, was fifth. Kurt Busch’s attempt at motorsports
history ended with 129 laps to go when he blew an engine. Busch finished sixth in the Indianapolis 500, but could not complete the 600 and become just the second racer ever — Tony Stewart was the first — to navigate all 1,100 miles on auto racing’s biggest weekend. Harvick had won two of the past three 600s and led 100 laps this time. He fell back in the latter stages as he dealt with car problems and could not get back to the front. “We needed a 700-mile race to get back to where we needed to be,” Harvick said. Brad Keselowski held the lead and appeared to have out-pitted Johnson’s No. 48 group with a final stop 55 laps from the end. But a vibration in the Penske machine sent Keselowski back to the pits and a lap down. Much of the pre-race attention was centered on whether Busch or points leader Jeff Gordon would make it to the starting line. Busch because of his 850mile trek South from Indiana and Gordon because of back spasms that cropped up Thursday after qualifying and were still severe enough Saturday for him to leave the track early after just a few laps of practice. But both were there when the green flag dropped, although Busch’s arrival was far more dramatic with the helicopter circling the track and landing on the infield close to the start-finish line about an hour before the race began. He received loud cheers and plenty of high-fives from fans and took a seat on the bench where driver introductions were made. As colleagues and competitors made their way up the
steps, most made sure to chat up Busch or shake his hand on a job well done. Busch had a bit of luck to stay on the lead lap, twice earning a lucky dog bid after going a lap down to return among the leaders. He eventually reached the top 10 and was running 16th when smoke started pouring out of his Stewart-Haas Chevrolet and sent him behind the wall and to a 40th-place finish. “Kind of a shame, kind of symbolizes how it’s been for the Haas Automation team,” Busch said. “We gave it our all with the way we were clawing our way up there.” The 42-year-old Gordon, a fourtime series champion, has dealt with back problems before and his No. 24 team had driver Regan Smith on standby if Gordon couldn’t go. But if Gordon’s back bothered him during the race, he didn’t show it with his performance. He spent much of the night in the top 10 and was out front until Kenseth passed him on a restart 16 laps from the end. Gordon finished seventh, his ninth top-10 finish in 12 events this year. “It was tough. I was aching in there. There was one time when I got on the brakes into (Turn) 1 and it triggered something. I didn’t know what was going to happen after that, but it settled down,” Gordon said. Gordon maintained his points lead by 11 over second-place Kenseth. Danica Patrick had hopes of a strong showing after qualifying fourth, her best starting spot of the season. But like Busch, she too, was out early with a blown engine 119 laps from the end.
Boston slump reaches 10 games with loss THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The World Series champion Boston Red Sox lost their 10th straight game, skidding to their longest slump in 20 years and brawling with the Tampa Bay Rays during an 85 defeat Sunday. Rays pinch-hitter Sean Rodriguez connected for a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the seventh. Yunel Escobar hit a two-run MLB double later Recap in the inning and then took third on defensive indifference, setting off the fracas. Escobar, Rodriguez and Boston’s Jonny Gomes were all ejected. This is Boston’s worst losing streak since an 11-gamer from June 8-19, 1994. Rangers 12, Tigers 4: Alex Rios tripled and drove in three runs, and the Rangers rolled to another Texas-sized rout of Detroit, beating Justin Verlander and the Tigers. Blue Jays 3, Athletics 1: Edwin Encarnacion homered, J.A. Happ won his third straight start and the Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep of Oakland, beating the Athletics. Orioles 4, Indians 2: Manny Machado and Nelson Cruz homered, Steve Pearce had three hits and the Orioles beat the Cleveland Indians for a split of the four-game series. Yankees 7, White Sox 1: Derek Jeter had four hits and Masahiro Tanaka rebounded nicely from his first major league loss, leading the Yankees to a victory over the White Sox. Tanaka (7-1) pitched into
“I’m a proud American boy, that’s for sure,” HunterReay said in Victory Lane before he was joined by his wife and son. “I’ve watched this race since I was sitting in diapers on the floor in front of the TV. My son did it today. He watched me here. I’m thrilled. This is American history, this race. This is American tradition.” He was serenaded by chants of “USA! USA!” as he made his way around the post-race celebrations. He was joined by son Ryden, born shortly after HunterReay’s 2012 IndyCar championship and wearing a miniature version of his father’s firesuit as his parents kissed the bricks. Castroneves, trying to become the fourth driver to win a fourth Indianapolis 500, settled for second. He needed several moments to compose himself, slumped in his car, head down and helmet on. The Brazilian said a caution with 10 laps to go broke his rhythm as red flag came out so track workers could clean debris and repair a track wall. “It was a great fight,” he smiled. “I tell you what, I was having a great time. Unfortunately, second. It’s good, but second sucks, you know what I mean?” Marco Andretti finished third and Carlos Munoz was fourth as Andretti Autosport had three cars in the top four, as well as the winner. Kurt Busch, also in a Honda for Andretti, finished sixth in his first race of the day. He left immediately for a flight after the race and arrived about an hour later in North Carolina for Sunday night’s Coca-Cola 600, where his attempt to become the second driver to complete 1,100 miles in both races on the same day ended when his

Angels 4, Royals 3: Chris Iannetta hit a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning Sunday, lifting the Angels over the Royals. Astros 4, Mariners 1: Dallas Keuchel (6-2) pitched a four-hitter for his second complete game in his last three starts, leading the Astros to a victory over the Mariners.
NATIONAL LEAGUE Braves 7, Rockies 0: Evan Gattis homered twice to support Julio Teheran’s six scoreless innings and the Atlanta beat Colorado. Brewers 7, Marlins 1: Jimmy Nelson pitched 5 2-3 scoreless innings in his season debut for the Milwaukee Brewers in a win over Miami. The Brewers’ top prospect was recalled from Double-A Huntsville to start for Yovani
Gallardo, who is nursing a sore left ankle. Nationals 5, Pirates 2: Ian Desmond hit a pair of RBI singles and the Washington Nationals ended a four-game losing streak by beating Pittsburgh. Padres 4, Cubs 3: Ian Kennedy (3-6) pitched six strong innings and the San Diego Padres defeated the Chicago Cubs. Diamondbacks 2, Mets 1; Mets 4, Diamondbacks 2: Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched six solid innings in his first start of the season and helped out with an RBI single as the New York Mets salvaged a doubleheader split with Arizona. In the opener, the Diamondbacks turned a season-high five double plays. They used an error by second baseman Daniel Murphy in
the ninth to win. Cardinals 4, Reds 0: Adam Wainwright became the National League’s first eight-game winner by dominating Cincinnati again, and the St. Louis Cardinals pulled away to a victory that completed another successful series against their division rival. The Cardinals are 6-3 against the Reds this season. They’ve won 10 of their last 11 series together.
INTERLEAGUE Giants 8, Twins 1: Michael Morse doubled three times and drove in four runs and San Francisco beat Minnesota to complete a three-game sweep. Hunter Pence homered as the Giants improved to 6-0 in interleague games this year. They have the best record in the majors.
Beckett pitched the Dodgers’ first no-hitter since Hideo Nomo beat Colorado at Coors Field in 1996, and the 21st in franchise history. Sandy Koufax threw four. “I knew he had something special going early,” catcher Drew Butera said. “I was a nervous wreck from the fourth inning on when he said he had never taken one this far. He’s a guy who is going to keep it loose and he didn’t want anybody to be thinking about it.” Beckett pitched the first no-hitter in the majors since Miami’s Henderson Alvarez did it against Detroit on the final day of the 2013 season. Beckett also became the first visiting pitcher to throw a no-hitter in Philadelphia since Montreal’s Bill Stoneman stopped the Phillies on April 17, 1969, at Connie Mack Stadium. All of the defensive plays behind Beckett were routine. Domonic Brown had the hardest out, a liner that left fielder Carl Crawford ran down near the warning track in the fifth. Beckett sat at the end of the bench, next to a security guard, as the Dodgers batted in the ninth inning, before taking the mound in his bid for history. “It was awesome. You think about it pretty much
from the fourth on. I’m not one of those guys that carried a lot of no-hitters deep into games,” he said. Beckett’s longest previous bid was 6 2-3 innings before allowing a single to Detroit’s Curtis Granderson on June 3, 2009. Beckett retired pinch-hitter Tony Gwynn Jr. on a popup to shortstop to start the ninth. Speedy Ben Revere followed with a grounder that first baseman Adrian Gonzalez fielded, and he flipped to Beckett covering the bag for the second out. “It was the most excited I’ve ever been playing defense,” Gonzalez said. Jimmy Rollins was up next, and Beckett walked him on a full-count pitch. That brought up Utley, and when the count when to 3-2, Butera went to the mound to talk to Beckett. “It was what it was, and if I threw one, great. If not, I have healthy kids and a healthy wife, and that’s the main goal,” Beckett said. A pitch before striking out, Utley took a few steps toward first base when he thought a 3-1 delivery was ball four. Instead, it was strike two. Utley left the clubhouse before reporters arrived. “He had real good stuff right down to the final batter,” Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. “Our best hitter not swinging at the last two strikes is an indicator right there.”

Sports OKC gets big boost from Ibaka OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Serge Ibaka knew playing on his injured leg would be painful. He didn’t care. Oklahoma City’s defensive star made a dramatic return Sunday night from what was thought to be a seasonending left calf strain. He started and scored 15 points to help the Thunder defeat the San Antonio Spurs 106-97 and cut the Spurs’ lead in the Western Conference finals series to 2-1. Ibaka had mentally prepared for the discomfort in the days leading up to the game. He said the pain was relative, given his early life struggles in the Republic of Congo. “Well, pain is pain, and I don’t want to be here to talk about the pain,” he said after the game. “Most importantly, we got that win tonight, and the focus is about next game.” Ibaka missed the first two games of the series. The Thunder originally said he would miss the rest of the playoffs, but changed course Friday. He participated in the team’s shootaround Sunday morning, then got positive feedback from the team’s medical staff as the game approached. The crowd roared when Ibaka’s name was announced during pregame introductions, and it got even louder when Ibaka started playing. He scored the first points of the game on a 19-foot jumper. “Words can’t describe it,” Thunder forward Caron Butler said. “It was a great moment. We just kind of rode that energy from the crowd, from the beginning, right out till the fourth quarter.” Ibaka had eight points, three rebounds and two blocks in just over six minutes of play in the first quarter. He went to an elliptical machine when he was not playing to stay loose. At one point, he took a fall and came up limping slightly before walking it off. It was all worth it. Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks took him out with 3:17 remaining and the Thunder ahead by 20. “I was just trying to do my job, stay focused, do the best I can do to help my team,” Ibaka said. He made six of seven shots and his presence eased the pressure on Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Westbrook had 26 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, and Durant added 25 points and 10 rebounds. On defense, Ibaka blocked and altered shots and used his still formida-

San Antonio center Tiago Splitter attempts a basket against Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka in the second quarter Sunday. ble mobility to close out on shooters. He had seven rebounds, four blocks and a seemingly endless amount of energy. “Serge has put so much work in throughout the season that missing a couple of days didn’t hurt him,” Westbrook said. “Tonight, he jumped right back into where he was.” Manu Ginobili scored 23 points and Tim Duncan added 16 points and eight rebounds for the Spurs. Game 4 is Tuesday night at Oklahoma City. The Thunder outrebounded the Spurs 52-36 after losing the battle of the boards in the first two games. San Antonio, which shot at least 50 percent in the first two games, shot just 40 percent on Sunday night. The first two games looked like a layup drill for the Spurs. This time, they were forced to reset numerous times. The passes were not as quick or as easy. “I was very disappointed that we didn’t come out with more of a foot-in-
the-neck sort of attitude,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “They killed us on the boards, they beat us in 50-50 balls and that’s very disappointing to me.” San Antonio had humiliated the Thunder 112-77 in Game 2. “I knew that we were a better team than losing by 30,” Brooks said. “It’s not us. It was us that night, but we’re a much better team than that. I have a lot of respect for San Antonio, but they’re not that much better than us.”
SATURDAY’S GAME Heat 99, Pacers 87: LeBron James scored 26 points, Dwyane Wade added 23 and the Miami Heat shook off a horrid start to beat the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. Ray Allen added 16 points and led a late-game charge for the Heat, who lead the best-of-seven series 2-1. Game 4 is tonight in Miami.
PARIS (AP) — Roger Federer’s 4-year-old twins, Myla and Riva, hung in there for about 20 minutes Sunday in his guest box at Court Philippe Chatrier, long enough to see Daddy take control of his French Open match. Wearing matching white dresses with black polka dots, pink bows in their hair, and sunglasses, the girls whiled away the time by looking at books. They bounced on the knees of their mom or Swiss Davis Cup coach Severin Luthi. At one point, one Federer tyke draped herself over a railing, not all that interested in watching. Eventually, the kids left with a nanny, perhaps to join their twin brothers, who are less than 3 weeks old. Truth is, Federer’s first victory as a father of four — he had been 0-1 since Leo and Lenny joined the world — contained little drama. Federer swept the last five games of the opening set, won 36 of 43 service points in the first two sets, and eliminated 87th-ranked Lukas Lacko of Slovakia 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 to reach the second round at Roland Garros. “My personal life, as we know, it’s all great,” the fourthseeded Federer said. “So I’m happy the family is here.” Sunday’s win was the 2009 champion’s 59th in a French Open match, tying him with Rafael Nadal for the most in history. Nadal, who’s won eight titles here, gets a chance to nudge ahead Monday, when he’ll play his first-round match against American wild-card entry Robby Ginepri. “Rafa is the favorite” to win the tournament, Federer proclaimed, saying Novak Djokovic comes next in the pecking order, “and then the rest (of us); it’s very clear.” In Lacko, Federer was facing a guy who’s lost 11 matches in a row on clay, and 14 of 20 first-round Grand Slam matches, so there probably wasn’t much reason for the
17-time major champion to worry. And yet, Federer explained, he did experience “those hints of fear, you know — maybe yesterday, maybe this morning at one point — just for like five seconds: ‘Oh, I really hope I don’t have to pack my bags today.”’ No such problems, of course. Federer kept Lacko on the defensive by serve-and-volleying occasionally and taking 16 of 20 points at the net. Still, Lacko wasn’t ready to declare Federer capable of winning another major. “He (has a) couple of moments when he starts to miss a little or couple easy mistakes,” Lacko said. “Top guys can take advantage.” Other winners on a cloudy — but dry — Day 1 at the only Grand Slam event that starts on Sunday included No. 6 Tomas Berdych, who wore a flower-print shirt during his match and a track suit with his name on the sleeves and legs afterward; No. 8 Milos Raonic, who got past the youngest man in the draw, 19year-old Nick Kyrgios; 10thseeded American John Isner; No. 13 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga; and No. 22 Jerzy Janowicz, who beat Victor Estrella Burgos, the first man from the Dominican Republic at a major tournament since 1956. Defending women’s champion Serena Williams and her older sister, No. 29 Venus, moved closer to a possible third-round meeting. Other women advancing: No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska, who weathered seven consecutive service breaks at the start before taking the last nine games; No. 8 Angelique Kerber; No. 14 Carla Suarez Navarro; and No. 31 Daniela Hantuchova. The only seeded player to lose was No. 25 Kaia Kanepi of Estonia. Francesca Schiavone, the French Open champion in 2010 and runner-up in 2011 but now ranked only 53rd, was beaten 6-3, 6-3 by 71st-ranked Ajla Tomljanovic of Croatia.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Gain some insight about who you and your associates are. Start a dialogue about your past, and urge others to share theirs as well. You could learn something quite interesting. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Finding the right balance can be difficult. Look for the best way to manage your time effectively so you don’t fall behind. Being too proud to ask for help will be your downfall. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Someone you care deeply about needs attention. Make an effort to show gratitude and affection.

Get professional advice or consider taking a break from whatever is causing you stress.

Be prepared to make some cash. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may be caught in an emotional whirlwind.

BRIDGE It is surprising that so many of the adages of bridge are wrong more often than they are right. This week we will look at: Do not finesse against your partner. What is a finesse against partner? It occurs when a defender leads a low card in a suit, promising at least one honor in it, dummy plays low, and third hand does not play his highest card. In this deal, South is in three notrump. West leads his fourth-highest spade. How should East plan the
defense? When you open one or two notrump, do not worry about unstopped suits. There are not enough words in bridge bidding to permit hands to be described down to the last atom. South will need to drive out the club ace to establish sufficient tricks for his contract. If he also loses at least four spade tricks, he will go down. However, an East who was born and raised on third hand high will put up his spade king at trick one and the contract will cruise home. East needs to realize that if he does play the spade king, South will get two spade tricks. Also, if West’s fourth-highest lead promises an honor in the suit, he must have the queen. So East can play his 10, finessing against partner, and take the trick. Then he can continue with his spade king and his third spade. West will win the next trick with his club ace and cash two spade tricks to defeat the contract. What if South has the spade queen? It will lose only a tempo for East to withhold his king. Here, finessing against partner is clearly correct.
